This procurement falls under the Education and Training Services sector and is focused in the East of England. The current stage is planning, with a key engagement milestone set for the 25th February 2020, when a Market Engagement session will be held in Cambridge. Interested parties are encouraged to RSVP by the 18th February 2020, with an Invitation to Tender expected to be published in mid to late April 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for various organisations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are capable of delivering training services. Companies focused on educational training or healthcare simulation are especially well-suited to compete, given the nature of the services sought. The contracting authority is open to considering multiple contracts to ensure value for money and equitable access, which could further widen the scope for participation among bidders. ## Notice NHS South of England Procurement Services, acting on behalf of Health Education England (the Commissioner) will be commencing a tender for the delivery of cadaveric simulation courses. The activity is intended to supplement the current simulation training available in the East of England, and we expect to be assessing applications from a wide range of organisations. Whilst the contract may be won by a single organisation, we will also consider awarding multiple smaller contracts if the bids evidence that this will allow greater value for money and equity of access across the region. Whilst the activity we are procuring must be delivered within the East of England, we welcome bids from all organisations. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to advise prospective providers of the Commissioners intention. We also plan to hold a Market Engagement session in Cambridge at Victoria House, Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge, CB21 5XB on the 25th February 2020 from 10:00 - 13:00. This will provide an opportunity for potential providers to find out more about the aims of the tender and contracts, the process involved as well as network with others. HEE will use the opportunity to gather intelligence from providers which may influence the final tender. Please RSVP by Tuesday 18th February 2020 with the name, title and contact details for attendees (a maximum of two attendees per organisation) to: Sophie Chambers Account Manager - Faculty Support Team Directorate of Education and Quality E. sophie.chambers@hee.nhs.uk The commissioner reserves the right not to proceed with the Procurement, or any part thereof, or change the requirements as necessary at any time. It is the intention of the commissioner that the procurement will be conducted as on OJEU Service Contract using an Open Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The ITT is expected to be published mid to late April 2020. A separate advert will be released advising of this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0181a1c5-37a8-4f23-8765-a73a0e910f08 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Feb 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH OF ENGLAND PROCUREMENT CENTRE | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO30 2FY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ35 South Hampshire | | Local authority | Eastleigh | | Electoral ward | Hedge End North | | Westminster constituency | Hamble Valley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 31 Jan 2020 at 15:23 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0181a1c5-37a8-4f23-8765-a73a0e910f08 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0181a1c5-37a8-4f23-8765-a73a0e910f08 31st January 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
